You are right. I tried it again. When I view the file on github it looks mangled. But after downloading it the text is true.
Here is a new link to the statbot for those who didn't want to bother unrapping b64:
statbot on github:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/129d926d08380fceebe35ee24182ee40
SHA256(statbot.py)= 513159dcfab21a0d0045463fe1ac9274dc27ee0ecb3363c739882afb43c82198
Download the zip to get the true file. The way the file appears in the gist display is not true to form.
